Named after the dense and enchanting Big Brook Forest that borders the property, Big Brook Wines is passionate about producing limited quantities of distinctive cool-climate wines that reveal the unique regional qualities of Pemberton’s South West.

Big Brook Wines was conceived in 2007 when the O’Toole family purchased the established ten- year-old vineyard.

Today, the estate is managed, and wines are produced, by an expert team based in Western Australia’s South West, with an annual production of about 3,000 cases.

Varieties grown include chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon with future plans to establish pinot noir, semillon and shiraz.

Big Brook is a promising young winery with limitless potential to create finely crafted cool-climate wines of distinction.

The vineyard’s previous owners had supplied fruit to nearby Great Southern wineries across some well-known premium and commercial brands, securing confidence in the estate’s promising potential. Coupled with the cool maritime conditions afforded by the location’s unique micro-climate and close proximity to the Southern Ocean it presented a venture too good to refuse.

Wines are named after the magnificent Big Brook Forest which borders the south side of the vineyard and is densely populated with majestic and towering Karri trees – hence Pemberton’s other namesake - ‘Karri-country’.

A freshwater stream flows all year through the picturesque property into a private dam which is filled with an abundance of marron, a delicious freshwater crayfish and local delicacy known to complement the crisp, alluring qualities of cool-climate chardonnay and sauvignon blanc!

Limited production of only 3,000 cases per year is intentional allowing an uncompromised focus on quality.
